Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book!
I enjoyed reading this book but think I could have enjoyed it a bit more - I had a little trouble getting invested enough. But it's a funny/sad/family/relationship book - all meshed together in a giant road trip. The Wang's were a very wealthy family until a series of bad decisions changed all that. The parents make a decision to pick up two of the children (Grace is at boarding school and Andrew at college) and drive to their eldest daughter's home in upstate New York. The book is told in different voices of all the characters (even the car has a couple chapters!), so you do really feel where each is coming from.
There were conversations in Chinese with no translation (at least in the galley I read) which maybe added to the disconnection I felt but you could usually get the gist of what they were saying.
This is an entertaining book with lots of road trip/relationship/meaning of family gained along the ride.
